Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)


Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is vital to protect your business and its employees. GTG Health and Safety Advisory Service aim to give the best PAT testing service to our customers to enable them to fulfil their obligations with regard to electrical equipment safety. We provide a fast, reliable and professional service at great prices.

We are specialists in the testing of all electrical equipment and use the latest PAT equipment to test both 230V and 110V appliances, we are best placed to help you comply with your legal obligations. All our testing is carried out in accordance with The Institute of Electrical Engineers' (IEE) code of practice.

The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing.

The level of inspection and testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is in turn dependant upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used.
